Helen Keller once said, “Life is either a great adventure or nothing.” Movies about adventure can encourage heroism, courage, and a willingness to stand for what is right in the face of adversity. In a time when adventure movies seem to be little more than an excuse to display violence and bloodshed, great adventure stories can inspire us to live for a more noble purpose. Here are some adventure movies that teens will love, and the whole family can endorse.

“The Storm & Luther’s Forbidden Letter”

Set against the backdrop of the Reformation, this movie puts young Storm in the center of one of the greatest controversies of the age.

Storm’s father owns a printing business, and when he is arrested for printing a forbidden letter written by controversial reformer Martin Luther, Storm barely escapes with the original. In a race against time, Storm tries to save his father from execution and get the letter into safe hands. But who can he trust? With help from Maria, a girl who lives in the city’s underground tunnels, Storm struggles to elude capture. What starts out as a fearful flight becomes a bold fight for freedom.

“Treasure State”

A long-running family feud between the Hogue family and the Stanton family means Levi and Trey are destined to be mortal enemies. However, when a cargo plane crashes in the mountains of Montana, they each come to the idea of seeking to recover the treasure separately for their own family. Things get really interesting when escaped convicts (the Baxter Brothers) arrive, and everyone is forced to work together to survive.

“Zoey to the Max”

Zoey is a 13-year-old girl in foster care who desperately needs to find a loving family. Just as she is just starting to fit in with what seems the perfect family, a pair of amateurish thieves steals the family pet, a valuable show dog. Zoey sets out to retrieve the dog and prove herself to the family.

“The Hunters”

What if the stories of fabled magical objects in fairy tales were based on reality? Two young adventurers learn that not only are the stories true, but they are part of a family sworn to protect these objects from the evil forces.

Jordan and Carter Flynn discover that their parents have gone missing on an important mission, yet in tracking them down, they stumble on the powerful forces seeking to gain control of Snow White’s mirror. They must stop him before he can assemble the pieces and cause a disaster in the world.
